Here's what roadside assistance actually covers when life happens on Provo roads

BATTERY JUMP-START & REPLACEMENT

Dead battery at BYU campus or your Provo driveway? We'll dispatch a technician to jump-start your vehicle on-site. Many plans include battery testing and replacement service, getting you back on the road within minutes.

What Does Roadside Assistance Actually Cover?

Let's cut through the confusion—here's what each type of service actually does for you in Provo

COMMON MYTHS ABOUT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

Myth: "My insurance company will call a tow truck for me even without coverage."
Truth: Without roadside assistance coverage, you'll pay $100-$400 out of pocket for a tow. A year of coverage costs less than one tow.

Myth: "I have a new car, so I don't need it."
Truth: Even new cars get flat tires, dead batteries, and locked keys inside. Plus, manufacturer coverage expires after 3-5 years.

Myth: "Using roadside assistance will raise my insurance rates."
Truth: Most carriers don't count roadside assistance claims against you—it's designed to be used without penalty.

Myth: "AAA is my only option."
Truth: Adding roadside assistance to your auto policy often costs just $5-$25 annually vs. $65-$125 for AAA membership.

Myth: "Coverage only works within a few miles."
Truth: Many plans offer 50-100+ mile towing, perfect for Provo Canyon or those weekend trips to southern Utah.

Which Coverage Option Is Right for You?

Here's how to figure out what works for your situation. What do you need?

Minor Mechanical First Aid for Roadside Assistance

When your vehicle breaks down 50 miles from the nearest town in Wyoming or won't start in a Colorado parking lot, you need roadside assistance that solves the problem right there—not just a tow truck that hauls you to a shop and leaves you stranded for days. As an independent brokerage serving Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, we compare 20+ carriers to find roadside coverage that includes minor mechanical first aid—trained technicians who can diagnose and repair common problems like loose hoses, slipped serpentine belts, disconnected battery cables, dead batteries, and flat tires on-site, getting you back on the road in minutes instead of waiting hours for towing and days for repairs. We're local experts who answer the phone, explain coverage in plain English, and make sure your roadside assistance actually solves problems instead of just moving them to a different location.

Lockout Service for Roadside Assistance

Mountain West drivers face lockout frustrations in some of the worst possible places—locked out in subzero Wyoming parking lots, stranded outside your vehicle at remote Colorado trailheads, or stuck outside after a long shift in the oil fields with dead key fobs and no spare. As an independent brokerage serving Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, we compare 20+ carriers to find roadside assistance with professional locksmith service that reaches you anywhere in our region—not generic programs that fail when you need help outside major cities. We're local experts who answer the phone, explain coverage in plain English, and make sure you're never paying hundreds out of pocket because you locked your keys in your truck.

Jump Start Assistance for Roadside Assistance

When your battery dies in a Wyoming parking lot at -20°F or you're stranded after leaving your lights on overnight, you need help that arrives in thirty minutes—not a three-hour wait for a tow truck charging $400 for a simple jump. As an independent brokerage serving Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, we compare 20+ carriers to find jump-start assistance that delivers professional technicians to your location fast—whether you're at home, at work, or on the road—with no surprise costs when you need help most. We're locals who've been stranded in Mountain West winters ourselves, and we make sure you're never stuck helpless when a dead battery threatens your day.

Fuel Delivery for Roadside Assistance

When you run out of gas on a remote Wyoming highway, 40 miles from the nearest station, or stranded in Northern Colorado during a winter storm, you need fuel delivery that actually reaches you—not programs that only work on suburban streets near gas stations. As an independent brokerage serving Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, we compare 20+ carriers to find roadside assistance with fuel delivery that works anywhere you drive—from interstate highways to mountain backroads to rural ranch roads where standard services won't dispatch. We're local drivers who've faced the same situations, and we make sure your roadside coverage includes fuel delivery that brings 2-3 gallons to your exact location within 30-60 minutes, getting you safely to the nearest refueling station without the stress, safety risks, or massive towing bills that come from being stranded without fuel.

Flat Tire Change for Roadside Assistance

Mountain West drivers face flat tire risks every day—from nail-strewn construction zones in Fort Collins to sharp rock debris on Wyoming highways after spring snowmelt, from extreme temperature swings that stress tire sidewalls at altitude to remote mountain passes where a flat tire 60 miles from the nearest town becomes a genuine safety emergency. As an independent brokerage serving Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, we compare 20+ carriers to find flat tire roadside assistance that actually reaches you when you're stranded—with response times, towing distances, and service networks built for Mountain West roads, not just suburban parking lots. We're locals who've changed tires in subzero wind on I-80 and waited for help on remote passes ourselves, and we make sure your roadside coverage works when you actually need it.

Towing Service for Roadside Assistance

When your vehicle breaks down on Wyoming's I-80 during a winter storm, 60 miles from the nearest town in temperatures hitting -20°F, or on a remote Colorado mountain pass with no cell service—you need roadside assistance that actually reaches you, not programs designed for suburban breakdowns five minutes from help. As an independent brokerage serving Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, we compare 20+ carriers to find towing and roadside coverage that works in Mountain West conditions—with service networks that dispatch to remote locations, towing distances appropriate for our vast geography, and 24/7 response even when you're hours from the nearest city. We're locals who've experienced these breakdowns ourselves, and we make sure your roadside assistance actually works when you're stranded in the places we regularly drive.

STEP 1: ASSESS YOUR DRIVING PATTERNS

Do you drive Provo Canyon regularly? Commute to Salt Lake City? Take weekend trips through remote areas? The more you drive—especially in challenging terrain or weather—the more valuable roadside assistance becomes.

High-mileage drivers and canyon commuters should prioritize extended towing distance (100+ miles).

STEP 2: EVALUATE YOUR VEHICLE AGE

Is your car under 3 years old with manufacturer roadside assistance? Or 10+ years old with increasing breakdown risk? Vehicle age directly correlates with roadside assistance value.

Older vehicles benefit most; newer vehicles should add coverage when manufacturer plans expire.

STEP 3: CALCULATE YOUR FINANCIAL EXPOSURE

Can you comfortably pay $150-$400 for an unexpected tow? Or would that create financial stress? If an unexpected bill hurts, annual coverage for $5-$25 is smart insurance.

Budget-conscious families and students benefit most from affordable annual protection.
